Abstract

These Regulations provide for the grant of development consent for development which is, or forms part of, a nationally significant infrastructure project. The Regulations impose procedural requirements, in particular, the carrying out of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in relation to applications for development consent and in relation to applications for subsequent consent, which are applications for the approval of requirements imposed by orders granting development consent. They prohibit the grant of development consent for EIA development unless the authority taking the decision has first taken account of the environmental information.
